Description
The Petunia 'Cardinal Rim' produces beautiful single, slightly fringed, purple flowers with white edges throughout the summer. This floriferous and vigorous variety has a slightly trailing habit, making it ideal for pots, hanging baskets, and other containers. It also looks great in a border. This annual plant thrives in sunny or partially shaded positions with well-drained soil.
Originating from South America, petunia is a perennial herbaceous plant grown as an annual in our climate. The 'Cardinal Rim' variety has a semi-trailing habit, ideal for hanging baskets or balcony containers. This Petunia is valued for its floriferous nature and rapid growth. It forms a 20 to 40 cm (8 to 16in) clump with a slightly trailing habit. Drought and heat tolerant, it thrives in sunny to partially shaded positions.
In your containers and borders, combine it with Petunia Bavaria Bell with double violet and white flowers, Petunia BeautiCal Pearl White with numerous white flowers, or Diascia Breeze Plus White. Also consider the Ipomoea Sweet Heart Jet Black for its almost black foliage, perfect for hanging baskets.
Note: Please be aware that our plug plants are professional products intended for experienced gardeners: upon receipt, transplant them as soon as possible into pots, containers, or directly into borders.

Planting and care
The 'Cardinal Rim' petunia is an easy-to-grow plant that can be planted in a flowerbed or a pot, planter, or hanging basket. If you want to plant it in the ground, wait until the last frosts have passed (it is sensitive to frost: minimum -1°C (30.2°F)). While waiting to plant it in your flowerbeds, you can grow it in a pot in a warm and bright location to accelerate its growth. The 'Cardinal Rim' petunia prefers a sunny or partially shaded exposure, protected from the wind. It requires light and humus-bearing soil that does not retain too much water. It tolerates excess moisture at the root level quite poorly, especially at the beginning of its growth. Water it moderately. Once established, it can withstand drought but will need regular watering during hot summer periods. Being a heavy feeder, provide liquid fertiliser once or twice a week during the growth period. Remove faded flowers and dry leaves as they appear to keep them looking attractive and extend the flowering period.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
